Bath resealing at your home in St Mary's
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and gaps by the taps, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
Every job is backed for twelve months in St Mary's and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Do you need bath resealing in St Mary's?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal

St Mary's: your questions answered
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of the Orkney Islands. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Our work in St Mary's
St Mary's is about 6 miles south of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Customers in St Mary's get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from pictures, and a technician at your door on the day. St Mary's is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands where we work.
We cover every part of KW17. From Station Square, St Mary's Road and Storehouse Place or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. We also travel to Upper Sanday (3 miles east), Burray Village (4 miles south), Toab (4 miles north-east), Grimness (5 miles south) and St Margaret's Hope (5 miles south).

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
For anyone letting property in or around St Mary's, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What else we do in St Mary's
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
